EMPTY SPACE

The word ‘EMPTY’ becomes the main part in this post. Empty itself may mean nothing inside or between or underneath something but in architecture ‘EMPTY’ is various. There is two quote that I’m interested from the class which are; ‘Emptiness is like KARMA that effect in the future’ and another is ‘Empty form is not useless form but utility has become a floating signifier.’ By Reinhold Martin.

Begins with the first quote that said ‘Emptiness is like KARMA that effect in the future’, this sentence make me realize of the space where it be now compare to the future. The function, program, or form may change by following the user, which is flexible and unpredictable. Refers t o the empty room that blank of furniture, however, when one comes in bed and sofa may replace the emptiness space to the full function.


‘Empty form is not useless form but utility has become a floating signifier.’ Is a part of the texts by Reinhold Martin. In this sentence is also tells the meaning of empty space in an architecture approach. Which the space is happen contingency by lifestyle or the way people live, compared to the architectural term :

ARCHITECTURE ----- FIX

INTERIOR ----- WHAT??
